Outer Continental Shelf Air 

Regulations Consistency Update for 

California 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (‘‘EPA’’). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to update a 

portion of the Outer Continental Shelf 

(‘‘OCS’’) Air Regulations. Requirements 

applying to OCS sources located within 

25 miles of States’ seaward boundaries 

must be updated periodically to remain 

consistent with the requirements of the 

corresponding onshore area (‘‘COA’’), as 

mandated by section 328(a)(1) of the 

Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (‘‘the 

Act’’). The portion of the OCS air 

regulations that is being updated 

pertains to the requirements for OCS 

sources for which the Santa Barbara 

County Air Pollution Control District 

(‘‘Santa Barbara APCD’’ or ‘‘District’’) is 

the designated COA. The intended effect 

of approving the OCS requirements for 

the Santa Barbara APCD is to regulate 

emissions from OCS sources in 

accordance with the requirements 

onshore. The changes to the existing 

requirements discussed below are 

proposed to be incorporated by 

reference into the Code of Federal 

Regulations and listed in the appendix 

to the OCS air regulations. 

DATES: Any comments must arrive by 

October 1, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, 

identified by docket number OAR– 

2004–0091, by one of the following 

methods: 

1. Federal eRulemaking Portal:

3. Mail or deliver: Andrew Steckel 

(Air-4), U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, 

San Francisco, CA 94105–3901. 

Instructions: All comments will be 

included in the public docket without 

change and may be made available 

online at www.regulations.gov, 

including any personal information 

provided, unless the comment includes

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Table of Contents 

I. Background and Purpose 

II. EPA’s Evaluation 

III. Proposed Action 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background and Purpose 

On September 4, 1992, EPA 

promulgated 40 CFR part 55,1 which 

established requirements to control air 

pollution from OCS sources in order to 

attain and maintain federal and state 

ambient air quality standards and to 

comply with the provisions of part C of 

title I of the Act. Part 55 applies to all 

OCS sources offshore of the States 

except those located in the Gulf of 

Mexico west of 87.5 degrees longitude. 

Section 328 of the Act requires that for 

such sources located within 25 miles of 

a State’s seaward boundary, the 

requirements shall be the same as would 

be applicable if the sources were located 

in the COA. Because the OCS 

requirements are based on onshore 

requirements, and onshore requirements 

may change, section 328(a)(1) requires 

that EPA update the OCS requirements 

as necessary to maintain consistency 

with onshore requirements. 

Pursuant to section 55.12 of the OCS 

rule, consistency reviews will occur (1) 

At least annually; (2) upon receipt of a 

Notice of Intent under section 55.4; or 

(3) when a state or local agency submits 

a rule to EPA to be considered for 

incorporation by reference in part 55. 

This proposed action is being taken in 

response to the submittal of 

requirements by the Santa Barbara 

County APCD. Public comments 

received in writing within 30 days of 

publication of this document will be 

considered by EPA before publishing a 

final rule. 

Section 328(a) of the Act requires that 

EPA establish requirements to control 

air pollution from OCS sources located 

within 25 miles of States’ seaward 

boundaries that are the same as onshore 

requirements. To comply with this 

statutory mandate, EPA must 

incorporate applicable onshore rules 

into part 55 as they exist onshore. This 

limits EPA’s flexibility in deciding 

which requirements will be 

incorporated into part 55 and prevents 

EPA from making substantive changes 

to the requirements it incorporates. As 

a result, EPA may be incorporating rules 

into part 55 that do not conform to all 

of EPA’s state implementation plan 

(SIP) guidance or certain requirements 

of the Act. Consistency updates may 

result in the inclusion of state or local 

rules or regulations into part 55, even 

though the same rules may ultimately be 

disapproved for inclusion as part of the 

SIP. Inclusion in the OCS rule does not 

imply that a rule meets the requirements 

of the Act for SIP approval, nor does it 

imply that the rule will be approved by 

EPA for inclusion in the SIP. 

II. EPA’s Evaluation 

In updating 40 CFR part 55, EPA 

reviewed the rules submitted for 

inclusion in part 55 to ensure that they 

are rationally related to the attainment 

or maintenance of federal or state 

ambient air quality standards or part C 

of title I of the Act, that they are not 

designed expressly to prevent 

exploration and development of the 

OCS and that they are applicable to OCS 

sources. 40 CFR 55.1. EPA has also 

evaluated the rules to ensure they are 

not arbitrary or capricious. 40 CFR 

55.12(e). EPA has excluded rules that 

regulate toxics, which are not related to 

the attainment and maintenance of 

federal and state ambient air quality 

standards. 

EPA is soliciting public comments on 

the issues discussed in this document or 

on other relevant matters. EPA will 

consider these comments before taking 

final action. Interested parties may 

participate in the Federal rulemaking 

procedure by submitting written 

comments to the EPA Region IX Office 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

Federal Register. 

III. Proposed Action 

1. After review of the requirements 

submitted by the Santa Barbara County 

APCD against the criteria set forth above 

and in 40 CFR part 55, EPA is proposing 

to make the following District 

requirements applicable to OCS sources. 

Earlier versions of these District rules 

are currently implemented on the OCS: 

Rule No. Name Adoption or 

amended date 

102 ............................................................ Definitions ..................................................................................................................... 6/21/12 

202 ............................................................ Exemptions to Rule 201 ............................................................................................... 6/21/12 

321 ............................................................ Solvent Cleaning Machines and Solvent Cleaning ...................................................... 6/21/12 

330 ............................................................ Surface Coating of Metal Parts and Products ............................................................. 6/21/12 

349 ............................................................ Polyester Resin Operations ......................................................................................... 6/21/12 

352 ............................................................ Natural Gas-Fired Fan-Type Central Furnaces and Small Water Heaters ................. 10/20/11 

353 ............................................................ Adhesives and Sealants .............................................................................................. 6/21/12 

The District also submitted the 

following new rule which is not 

currently in effect on the OCS, for 

incorporation into Part 55. We are 

proposing to incorporate this rule into 

part 55: 

349 ............................................................ Polyester Resin Operations ......................................................................................... 6/21/12 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to establish 

requirements to control air pollution 

from OCS sources located within 25 

miles of States’ seaward boundaries that 

are the same as onshore air control 

requirements. To comply with this 

statutory mandate, EPA must 

incorporate applicable onshore rules 

into part 55 as they exist onshore. 42 

U.S.C. 7627(a)(1); 40 CFR 55.12. Thus, 

in promulgating OCS consistency 

updates, EPA’s role is to maintain 

consistency between OCS regulations 

and the regulations of onshore areas, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

52632 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 169 / Thursday, August 30, 2012 / Proposed Rules 

the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this 

action simply proposes to update the 

existing OCS requirements to make 

them consistent with requirements 

onshore, without the exercise of any 

policy discretion by EPA. For that 

reason, this proposed action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; 

and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this proposed rule does 

not have tribal implications as specified 

by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because it does not 

have a substantial direct effect on one or 

more Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

nor does it impose substantial direct 

compliance costs on tribal governments, 

nor preempt tribal law. 

Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq., an agency may not conduct 

or sponsor, and a person is not required 

to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

OMB has approved the information 

collection requirements contained in 40 

CFR part 55 and, by extension, this 

update to the rules, and has assigned 

OMB control number 2060–0249. Notice 

of OMB’s approval of EPA Information 

Collection Request (‘‘ICR’’) No. 1601.07 

was published in the Federal Register 

on February 17, 2009 (74 FR 7432). The 

approval expires January 31, 2012. As 

EPA previously indicated (70 FR 65897– 

65898 (November 1, 2005)), the annual 

public reporting and recordkeeping 

burden for collection of information 

under 40 CFR part 55 is estimated to 

average 549 hours per response, using 

the definition of burden provided in 44 

U.S.C. 3502(2).
